Fittingly, in a room packed out with the superstars of mixed martial arts, the 2011 Fighters Only World Mixed Martial Arts Awards ceremony came to life in fine style courtesy of dance act the Jabbawockeez. FO hosted the annual MMA Oscars once again at The Pearl Theater inside The Palms Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. Amongst the star-studded guests were individual winners Jon Jones and Anderson Silva, both of whom’s expert dancing abilities wouldn’t have seen either of them out of place amongst the masked crusaders. Both UFC champions did of course make their way onto the stage later in the evening, collecting the ‘Fighter of the Year’ and ‘Knockout of the Year’ awards respectively. To find out who else was rewarded following the international online fan vote, get stuck into the awards special in this issue from page 48.
